Sylas stood and waited, circulating his Aether to try and recover from his injuries while keeping an eye on the woman before him. His gaze was sharp, and he didn't let his guard down for even a single moment.
There were ways to circumvent the system. For example, when he enslaved Lolaleen, he had effectively taken her from Vayu's team and put her onto his. So he knew that it was possible; it was just that the enslavement contract he used only had one use left, and obviously he had used it. If not, someone with Nosphaleen's stats would be more than worth it.
He almost regretted that he had wasted it on Lolaleen even though he knew it was thanks to that choice he had made it so far.
Unfortunately… he was watching as Nosphaleen's panic was becoming more and more obvious. Clearly, she didn't have a solution to all of this either.
Sylas slowly shook his head. It seemed that this could only end one way.
He was about to make a move when he paused.
